In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi Julia! How are you, Sweetie? How's the most beautiful girl in the world? I'm just hanging out at home, writing a love letter to my sweetie. I have my joystick hooked up the the computer, and about 100 N64 games on the hard drive. Remember those? Sure, the graphics don't match up to today's games, but some of them are really fun. Something to waste time with, until Allah gives me a bottomless supply of money, inshaAllah. Then I have to get busy getting married. Plus other stuff. Please pray with me that Allah grants me that soon.
I went to the night market just now, and bought some chicken and soybean milk. I bought the chicken from those 2 kids I told you about, only this time their mom was there. I'm very fussy about my chicken meat. I only eat white meat. Well, I sometimes have chicken liver (which is 10 times cheaper than beef liver), and chicken wings, but otherwise I only like white meat. Well, I save the bones for soups and curries, and I separate the skin for a nice crispy fried snack to be tossed or dipped in hot sauce. Sort of like chicken wings without the wings.

Qur'an 20130813
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
165. What! When a single disaster smites you, although you smote with one twice as great, do you say, "Whence is this?" Say, "It is from yourselves, for Allah has Power over all things."
166. What you suffered on the day the two armies met was with the leave of Allah, in order that God might test the believers.
167. And the hypocrites also. These were told, "Come fight in the way of Allah, or repel them." They said, "Had we known there would be a fight, we should have certainly followed you." They were that day nearer to unbelief than to faith, saying with their lips what was not in their hearts. But Allah has full knowledge of all they conceal.
The Family of Imran 3:165-167

Dearest Julia, how are you feeling today? Are you having fun, wearing disguises, being a secret agent, and running your own spy network? No, I haven't done anything wrong, inshaAllah. I want to be married, so I just stay at home most of the time, and I go out only to do shopping, and use the Internet. I spent the day raking and burning around Casa de Julia inshaAllah. There is so much work to do, and I can't seem to get properly started. But the lawn seems to have acquired a life of its own, far from the jungle it was 4 years ago, and it's starting to look civilized, alhamdulillah. I spend most of my time at home. When I had friends, I had only a few friends, and now I have less than that. You are blessed to have so many friends. I don't think it's necessary for you to find new friends, just to cherish the ones you already have. For you are already on top of the world, inshaAllah. Because you are MY girl. I love you, and I want to marry you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
154. After that of the distress, God sent down calm on a band of you overcome with slumber, while another band was stirred with anxiety by their own feelings, moved by wrong suspicions of Allah- suspicions due to ignorance. They said, "What affair is this of ours?" Say you, "Indeed, this affair is wholly Allah's." They hide in their minds what they dare not reveal to you. They say,"If we had had anything to do with this affair, we would not have been in the slaughter here." Say, "Even if you had remained in your homes, those for whom death was decreed would certainly have gone forth to the place of their death." But that Allah might test what is in your breasts, and purge what is in your hearts.
The Family of Imran 3:154

YOOOOOOLIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Hi there Julia, my dearest. How are you feeling today? Did you have a good Eid? Oh, you were busy working? So was I. I have to sing everyday, but besides that, I had a lot of yard work to do. The grass grows quickly, and I have a lot of area to cover. Ironically, if my parents hire extra help, then I have extra work to do. Because the grass is going to grow back anyway, and I don't have the time to clean up after others. It would be different if I were the one to do the hiring. Thus, I spent the Eid cutting grass on the area where I will build Casa de Julia, inshaAllah. Remember, when Allah grants me wealth inshaAllah, the first thing I have to do is to buy the land. There is so much work to do. Right now, I have too much to take care of, which is not music related. When the money comes inshaAllah, then I will have to do some hiring right away. Oh no, I have to vacuum my bedroom!

Hi, my beloved. How are you feeling today? Today should be the last day of fasting, and tomorrow should be the Eid. I totally enjoyed this Ramadan, alhamdulillah. I do love Ramadan. I'm still on the "perfect tortilla" roll, so last night I had steak and cheese wraps. Actually, it was steak, mushroom, onion, hot pepper, and cheese. Obviously, I can't bake the tortilla in the oven. So I greased up a pan, and baked the stuffing until the cheese became gooey and melted, then folded it into a wrap. Of course, I made one for you. But I has to eat it, since you weren't here for dinner. I'm going to get bloated, or so used to these portions, that when you do get here inshaAllah, I'm going to have to make 2 portions for me, and one for you. Oh, my love. I want you. I'll probably be busy all day tomorrow, so I won't be in to blog. The Eid prayer is first thing in the morning, then back to my parents' house to eat until bloated. Eat and sleep. You have a very pleasurable Eid, my dearest Julia. My the world shower you with love, as I love you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
How are you, my Julia? I pray you are healthy and happy. I've been making perfect tortillas lately, praise Allah. So for breaking fast, I had some chicken wraps. I stopped at the night market and bought some fresh chicken breast from these 2 boys, age about 7 and 12. They said their dad left them there to mind the stall. They sure chopped that chicken like pros, though. I marinated the meat spicy teriyaki style, then pan fried it in butter until it just turned white. Sliced it flat wise, and rolled it up in the tortilla with oyster mushrooms, fried onions, and tomatoes. The wraps were FAT. I made one for you, but you didn't show up for dinner. So I ate it. Sorry. It won't keep in the cooler as a leftover. Wish you were here with me.
